FOREWORD. 



The main purpose of SUCCESSFUL AMERICANS of the 
Twentieth Century, both Local and National, is to preserve 
and perpetuate the names and achievements of the Leading 
Men of America now living, who have attained some promi- 
nence in the Social, Industrial, Commercial and Public af- 
fairs of this great Commonwealth of ours. 

This Series of Biographical Americana will be an inval- 
uable acquisition to the World of Literature, and is special- 
ly designed for use in the reference rooms of the great pub- 
lic libraries throughout the world, and for constant refer- 
ence in the Sanctum Sanctorums of the principal news- 
papers offices of America. This Series is ultimately des- 
tined to go down to posterity as an enduring record of the 
most prominent people of the United States; bearing in 
mind that without such a record some of the most note- 
worthy names would be lost in oblivion, and their posterity 
deprived of the gratification and advantage of reference to 
so honorable an ancestry. 

One whole page and a permanent number will be as- 
signed to each and every man of prominence, and the editors 
are only too pleased to receive data to the end that each and 
every one may obtain due recognition and an authentic re- 
cord which will be corrected and expanded from time to 
time in succeeding editions of this United Press Service 
Library. 

These representative Citizens of character and influence, 
by their enterprise and thrift, by their activity and sagacity 
in business, and by their zeal in educational, social and pub- 
lic matters, have contributed vastly to the moral, spiritual 



FOREWORD. 

and material prosperity of the community in which they 
live; and in the preservation of such a record progressive 
men of life and thought should have a national pride. 

As the failure to consider the lives of men of affairs as 
of historical importance is a defective feature of all bio- 
graphical works heretofore published, a special feature of 
this Series will include the lives of the great merchants, 
manufacturers, railroad builders, and other practical men 
who have developed the mines, forests and fai-ms, built the 
railroads, steamboat lines and canals, organized the corpor- 
ations, and introduced the new processes in science and me- 
chanics, which have so gi^eatly reduced the cost and pro- 
moted the comfort of living, while contributing to the power 
and prestige of the nation itself. 

Mistakes will undoubtedly be found in this volume, but 
they exist not for want of painstaking efforts to avoid them, 
but generally from imperfect manuscripts or conflicting 
statements of standard authorities. What is worth record- 
ing at all, is worth recording carefully and correctly; and 
when mistakes are discovered, a memorandum of the errors 
should at once be sent to the publishers for correction in 
future editions of this work.
